The draw was way too tight and ended up working so hard at it it wasn't enjoyable and ended up becoming bitter at half-way whereupon I gave up on it a little disappointed. But hey ho, you have to take the rough with the smooth and I don't regret giving this one a go. I'll give it a neutral score because what flavour I was getting out of it to begin with was allright. I won't rule out trying another but it goes to the back of queue.

Will be coming back for some more of these! For the money they are difficult to beat. Started off surprisingly mellow but started to kick in with strong nutty tones a third of the way in. Also getting something like orange blossom. Left a rather pleasant tingle on the lips to boot. Very pleased.

In terms of value for money these are difficult to fault. It smoked very well with a nice easy draw. Flavour was mild and pleasant but there was no specific note I could pick out. Overall the look, feel and taste of this cigar was, for want of a better word, underdeveloped. Now, I don't have a humidor but plan to invest in one shortly. It seems to me that on the assumption that aging cigars isn't complete hokum then these might benefit from a couple of years on the brew. So I might invest in a few of these and smoke them at different stages as an experiment. But in the interim, spend a fiver and get to look like Schwarzenegger in your local. Win-win!

I've gone through 4 packets of these (I should point out not from this website) and have found these quite frustrating. The flavour of these are really good and are an enjoyable smoke but in every packet I've found 2 out of 5 either burn badly or tar up to the point I'm stamping them out half-way through. If it wasn't for the consistency of them I'd give them 4 stars but as it stands Cohiba Shorts, Romeo puritos and Guantanameras are all way better than these.

Regius Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Peter
If this cigar was a colour it would be beige. I tried the Regis Corona as an alternative to the Inka Blue which I love. On the positive side it was well constructed, burned evenly if a little quickly. However it tasted of nothing of note. Bitter, a little harsh and just bland. I have some more and will revisit and re-review if the others show any improvement. Not a good first impression.

I have just sampled a pre-2008 example. Very good construction, though the cap unravelled. The smooth flavour was medium, and it was a satisfying smoke. A good standby, but I think one can do even better for the price.
